No, of course not.  I'm so glad that you, and some of the other progressives in this forum have taken the time to point out just exactly what I am; a knuckle-dragging, ingnorant-a** redneck. 

Thank you so much.

Why do you think of yourself like that? Were you at the Insurrection? Do you contribute to Trump's coffers and believe that he will be resuming the presidency in August? Are you an antivaxxer? Do you contemplate your behaviors and its relation to your future? 

It actually is quite a strange way to think of yourself if I may say so.

No, I don't.  And I can't believe that you have the audacity to ask this question.  As you continue to do this after being called on it, I can only presume that you intent is to be antagonistic.

We have to live with the worst of our party that the other side doesn't like.  

My father is conservative and voted for Trump. As a younger man he was a Democrat but switched.   He's a veteran and is no way no how is against Democracy because he fought for it.  He's pro-gay marriage (which is great having a gay son and all), he's not a racist and he's vaccinated.  I for the life of me can't understand his voting for Trump but I do not part of it is that he's from Texas and is very much against illegal immigration.   We don't talk about politics much.  All three of his kids are die-hard liberals.

Don't feel bad, I'm part of a group that hates America, is a communist, wants to come for your guns, wants an open border where anyone can walk in and get free stuff, wants to destroy the economy, will let covid destroy our civil liberties,  wants everything for free without working for it, and wants men in dresses in bathrooms to rape your daughters.  As Beerman said  another "Democrat idiot".   It's my lot in life to be viewed this way.

I am just curious about why you would refer to yourself in such a derogatory fashion? 

You're obviously none of those things based on your vocabulary. You peruse the political section so you are curious and rational and possess reason or you wouldn't be outraged. Though for what I don't possibly know unless the shoe fits which I don't see. 

I'm talking about people who are unable to recognize someone like Trump and be foolish enough to partake in an insurrection instigated by him and for some unfathomable reason believe that a country of laws and traditions will suddenly bypass the process and capitulate to their demands? As if the entire country would suffer from mass cowardice because a few thousand idiots act as a Mob! 

Seriously, do you think America is that weak and the people that stupid? How many of those morons are now indicted, charged and in serious legal jeopardy? 

It's really quite amazing how stupid republicans are! Has any of their shenanigans worked out, ever? Do you really think the constitution is so trivial? Even the Supreme Court is democratic! 

Where is the instigator in chief now? Looking at a future of jail and fines and even more bankruptcy!

Just to be clear, that statement was directed at a specific person who has chosen to personally insult me several times.  If you wanted to, you could go back and see that.

Yes, Republicans are sadly the party of fools, racist fascists, and simple idiots!  For example, most unvaccinated individuals are being hospitalized and dying of COVID because they feed on non-news hateful made up anti-science anti-American propaganda such as the misinformation spread by Fox News. 

Fox News is leading the way in spreading the lie that the COVID delta variant is a hoax, there is no surge actually going on, and the Biden Administration is just trying to force vaccines on everyone in an attempt to steal their Bibles (which that group does not read or understand) and take away their guns.  Not to mention supporting laws that want to take away lawful citizens' rights to vote in order to allow for those who are politically in the minority (very nutty Republicans who support Trump or who vote for nut jobs who support Trump) can win elections, which is very undemocratic!

Now this is exceedingly dangerous for everyone!

Electrodes implanted, allows speech! 

Tell me democracy isn't of extreme importance now? 

You absolutely know Zuckerberg, Theil etc is drooling at this. To monetize this technology and modify it so that even your thoughts wouldn't be private! A transponder implanted with the technology either for Bluetooth or radio, communicating with your phone or computer and surreptitiously being sent to facebook or Google. Don't for a second think that this isn't where this technology is going, unless truly Democratic nations enact legislation to prevent it. I doubt even that will stop them! Nations like China, Turkey and every autocratic country will be looking at this. 

It will do major good in many sectors of industry, but you can bet it will be weaponized! I could easily come up with a hundred different ways to monetize this application. 

We are in serious trouble now!

No one needs to insult you Beerman, you do spectacularly well by yourself. 

I hate being a Democrat or a liberal because I am inherently conservative. But republicans are infinitely worse! I want to be rich because I have seen what money can do. Therefore I want to exploit every resource possible. We live in an international world but moronic republicans appear to think we can isolate and be insular! They are by far the poorest demographic in America meaning that they need cheap products, but the stupidity runs so deep, they would antagonize the international community. Talk about cutting your nose to spite your face! You think those pick up trucks have American electronics or parts? Where do you think the steel comes from and which design engineers are cheapest? 

Do you honestly think China, Mexico or India are going to forget who insulted them? Which are the rising countries?

I quoted it, so I don't necessarily need to go back and see that you were talking about a specific person.  But thanks for the clarification.

You're entitled to your opinions but really as someone on the sidelines I really don't like this bullying. 

You insult yourselves with posts full of arrogance, superiority and insults and babbling.  I hardly read them anymore.

Fox Noise is nothing but propaganda.  Their propaganda is killing people and destroying our democracy.  January 6 happened because of their propaganda campaign.  If people post and spread it, I am going to point it out.
